This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies.
Last Updated: October 15, 2026
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used. Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
DeviceAdBlock uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| dab-theme | Essential | Stores your light/dark mode preference | Persistent (1 year) |
| dab-cookies | Essential | Records your cookie consent decision | Persistent (1 year) |
| _ga | Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors for site analytics | Persistent (2 years) |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Maintains session state for analytics | Persistent (2 years) |
| _gid | Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors (short-term) | Persistent (24 hours) |
| _gat | Performance | Throttles analytics request rate | Session (1 minute) |
Some cookies on our Site are set by third-party services. These include analytics providers that help us understand Site usage patterns. Third-party cookies are subject to the respective third party’s privacy policy. We use Bootstrap CSS delivered via a CDN, which may set performance-related cookies. We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on our Site.
When you first visit our Site, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies (such as your theme preference and consent choice) will always be set as they are necessary for the Site to function properly. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the “Options,” “Preferences,” or “Settings” menu of your browser. Here’s how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Site. For example, your theme preference may not be saved between visits.
In addition to cookies, we use your browser’s local storage to save certain preferences. Local storage works similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not expire automatically. We use local storage to save your theme preference and cookie consent decision. You can clear local storage through your browser’s developer tools or settings.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track the user. We respect DNT signals. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will not set non-essential analytics cookies.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you are using an ad blocker (as our guides recommend!), some analytics cookies may be blocked automatically. This is perfectly fine and expected behavior. Our Site functions fully without analytics cookies. The only cookies that affect your experience are the essential cookies for theme preference and consent tracking.
